Voting by mail is bad except when Trump is afraid of losing and then it's good. He's already encouraged MAGA to cheat. He reeks of desperation.
Trump posted a video to Truth Social Saturday saying, “The 2026 midterm elections are upon us, and I’m asking every patriot to get out and vote. This is one of the most important elections of our lives, so to learn how and where to vote, go online to swampthevoteusa.com. If your state has early voting, do not wait. Go out and vote. Vote early, vote by mail, or vote in person on election day, November 3rd, so we can defeat the radical left Dumocrats in a midterm victory that is too big to rig. We’ve got to beat the Dumocrats. I call them Dumocrats because their policies are so bad.”

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

We only found that part of the family, and we were appalled at the story. Hub's grandmother was married off very young, divorced him for abuse, and remarried a kind man she actually grew to love. Not everyone gets through it that well. American values often suck.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1904: A train filled with white, Catholic orphans pulls into Clifton, Ariz. Enraged that the children are being adopted by Mexican American families, a white mob abducts the children from their new homes at gunpoint and redistributes them to white families. /1
Some of the Irish Catholic orphans who arrived by train in Clifton, Ariz., in 1904. The Arizona Orphan Abduction of 1904 remains one of the most explosive and revealing chapters in the history of race relations and family law. The aftermath permanently altered the trajectory of child welfare. The Supreme Court ruling codified race as the most critical factor in child placement, cementing the doctrine that non-white parents had no legal right to raise a white child. The case normalized a practice in which social workers matched children to parents based on racial categories, a standard that lasted into the late 20th century. Eastern charities drastically scaled back sending children to western territories, shifting instead to localized, legally sterile foster systems. The children stolen in Arizona never returned to New York and never saw their Mexican mothers again. They grew up as white Protestants, their identities rewritten by a flashpoint of frontier racial panic.
